Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2.2 pounds chicken breast, thighs or drumsticks (1 kilogram)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk (60 milliliters)
1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce
5 cups cornflakes, finely crushed
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (60 milliliters)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 milliliters)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey (or spicy honey from above)
1/2 teaspoon celery salt, optional
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (30 milliliters)
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cabbage head, such as savoy, red or Napa (about 6 cups sliced)
1 carrot
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with a baking rack. Lay out the chicken and pat each piece dry with a piece of paper towel. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper and stir well. Add the chicken pieces into the bowl and toss to coat each piece. Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg with the mayonnaise, buttermilk and hot sauce. Scatter the crushed cornflakes into a shallow dish.
  • Remove the chicken from the flour mixture one piece at a time and tap off any excess flour. Dunk and thoroughly coat the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then roll and press into the cornflake crumbs. Place the chicken onto the rack-lined baking sheet and continue until all of the chicken is coated, making sure to leave space between each piece.
  • Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes for chicken breasts or thighs and 30 to 40 minutes for drumsticks. Season the chicken immediately with kosher salt and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • For the spicy honey: Combine the honey, hot sauce and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container to store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
  • For the slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, celery salt and oil in a large bowl. Stir in the onion.
  • Thinly slice the cabbage and shred the carrot on the large side of a box grater. Then add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix very well to combine.
  • Serve the chicken with the spicy honey and slaw.

ORANGE HONEY CHICKEN THIGHS RECIPE



Orange Honey Chicken Thighs Recipe image

Provided by á-4922

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ cups orange juice plus an additional 2 tablespoons
⅓ cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup all-purpose flour
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 6 ounces each), trimmed of excess fat, with three diagonal slahses on the skin
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 medium shallot, minced (about 3 tablespoons)

Steps:

  • 1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 1 1/2 cups orange juice, corn syrup, honey, mustard, vinegar, pepper flakes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper together in medium bowl. Place flour in pie plate, then season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Working with one chicken thigh at a time, coat chicken with flour, patting off excess. 2. Heat oil in ovenproof 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add chicken thighs skin-side down; cook until well browned and most of fat has rendered from skin, 8 to 14 minutes. (If after 3 minutes you don't hear definite sizzling, increase heat to medium-high. If after 6 minutes chicken is darker than lightly browned, reduce heat slightly.) Turn chicken and lightly brown other side, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer chicken to plate. 3. Pour off all but 1 teaspoon fat from pan. Add shallot and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Increase heat to high and add orange juice mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until syrupy and reduced to 1 cup (heatproof spatula should leave slight trail when dragged through glaze), 6 to 10 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and tilt to one side so glaze pools in corner of pan. Using tongs, dip each chicken thigh in pooled glaze to coat evenly and place skin-side up in skillet. 4. Transfer skillet to oven and bake chicken until thickest part of thighs registers 175 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 5 minutes. Return skillet to high heat (be careful-handle will be very hot) and cook glaze, stirring constantly, until thick and syrupy (heatproof spatula should leave wide trail when dragged through glaze), about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat and whisk in remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice. Spoon 1 teaspoon glaze over each thigh and serve, passing remaining glaze at table.

HONEY-AND-SOY-GLAZED CHICKEN THIGHS



Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs image

In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.

Provided by Kay Chun

Categories     dinner, easy, lunch, weeknight, poultry, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
6 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (see tip)
5 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover, acacia or orange blossom
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and black pepper
8 small bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 3 pounds)
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce and honey and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. (You'll want to cook attentively for this step, as the syrupy mixture can burn if it cooks too long.) Turn off the heat then whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  • On an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Add half the glaze and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and toss the chicken to coat. Arrange in an even layer, skin side up, and roast until browned, 15 minutes. Brush the chicken all over with 2 tablespoons of the remaining glaze. Roast until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Drizzle the chicken with the remaining glaze and serve with lemon wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken thighs: Look for thighs that are evenly sized and have a good amount of meat on them. Avoid thighs that are too fatty or have a lot of skin.
  • Marinate the chicken thighs: Marinating the chicken thighs in the orange-honey mixture helps to infuse them with flavor and keep them moist during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken thighs at a high temperature: This helps to create a crispy crust on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside juicy and tender.
  • Use a baking rack: Cooking the chicken thighs on a baking rack allows the air to circulate around them, which helps to create a crispy crust all over.
  • Baste the chicken thighs with the orange-honey mixture: Basting the chicken thighs during cooking helps to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the chicken thighs with your favorite sides: Orange-honey chicken thighs can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Orange-honey oven-fried chicken thighs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken thighs are marinated in a mixture of orange juice, honey, and spices, then baked in the oven until crispy and juicy. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
